Comment 15 for bug 47706

Hi Fern,

As the poster pwii mentioned, you need to remove the entry (or comment out)
in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-oss.

You should note that as Lee Revell mentioned, this module could potentially
lead to system lock ups - have a rescue CD handy to add the module back into
the blacklist if it does not work.

Cheers,
Danny
